Frequently asked questions

Do I keep my existing business phone number?

Yes. You keep your published number and forward calls to your AI Employee based on the rule you choose.

Can the AI Employee transfer to a real person?

Yes. You define transfer numbers and escalation rules, and callers who ask for a person are warm-transferred.

Will it book on my real calendar?

Yes. Bookings check live availability, respect blocked time, and sync back to your calendar and CRM.

How long does setup take?

Most businesses are live within days once we have your call flow, calendar and CRM access.

What happens after hours?

Your AI Employee answers, captures the request, books or escalates urgent calls based on your rules.

Do I have to change my business phone number to use an AI Employee?

No. You keep your existing published number. Your AI Employee is given its own number, and your phone system forwards calls to it based on the rule you choose — every call, unanswered calls, busy or overflow calls, or after-hours calls.

How many rings should pass before the AI Employee answers?

Three to four rings, roughly 18 to 20 seconds on most systems, is the common setting. It gives your team a genuine chance to answer while keeping the caller from waiting long enough to hang up.

Why does voicemail answer instead of my AI Employee?

Whatever answers first wins. If voicemail picks up at 20 seconds and your forwarding rule fires at 25, the call never reaches your AI Employee. Set the voicemail timeout longer than the forwarding timer, or disable voicemail on the user, queue or line that now hands off to the AI Employee.
